Glen Oak Country Club
JUNE 2016
President’s Message
The Glen Oak Board of Directors is excited to announce a new Non-Resident Membership Category. This
category was created to provide a membership opportunity for individuals who do not live or work in the
area but who still would like to take advantage of the Glen Oak experience on a limited basis (e.g. adult
children of members who live in neighboring states). In order to qualify, an applicant cannot reside, own
real estate, own a business, or be employed, within a radius of 75 miles of the Glen Oak Country Club. This
membership opportunity is not intended for snow birds, and the Board of Directors reserves the right to
reject any applicant for any reason. Some key features of this membership category are listed below. For
any additional information or questions, please contact me or Jason Schoenberg, Membership Chairperson.

Applicant must be posted for a period of twenty (20) days and approved by the Board of Directors.
There will be no initiation fee for membership
Member will be entitled to golf, restaurant, tennis and pool privileges.
Member play will be un-restricted with the exception of weekend/Holiday play which will be limited to
teeing off before 8:00am or after 11:00am. These restrictions can be lifted if playing with a current
Senior Member or at the discretion of the Club Professional based on availability.
There will be no restaurant minimum or capital fee requirements.
Member is not eligible to play in any leagues or member events.
Range/Bag storage fee and Handicap fee will apply. Hole-in-one fee is optional.
Member family is not entitled to spousal or Junior Member privileges.
Member may invite guest play which is subject to existing club rules.
Dues will be established by the Executive Committee and Membership Committee, with Board approval
and subject to change from time to time. The Membership Committee with concurrence of the
Executive Committee reserve the right to make upward adjustments to the published dues and/or fees as
may be deemed appropriate based on the individual applicant.
I would also like to inform the membership that the Thursday night league “A” division has been renamed in
honor of Mack Saunders. It will now be named the Mack Division and is a testimony to Mack’s longstanding commitment to Glen Oak Country Club, not only as President and Green Chairman, but also for the
strong advisory role he continues to play at the Club. When you see Mack, please congratulate him on this
unique honor.
Hopefully by now you have all seen the new fireplace that was installed just off the Grill Room as well as
the new hanging doors that make it a great venue for an intimate dinner or a small get-together. What a
great addition to the clubhouse! Equally as impressive is the painting of the clubhouse which now adorns the
fireplace. This painting represents countless hours of tedious work by our own member Lisa Cunningham
who has graciously loaned the painting to Glen Oak. Please thank Lisa when you see her for her kind generosity.

Club Manager’s Report… Jeffrey Spagna, CCM
Another Memorial Day Cookout and opening day at the pool are already behind us, but as always that wasn't the only
acvity at the Club this past weekend. Friday night featured a wedding rehearsal dinner, Saturday was highlighted by
not one, but two dinner pares to celebrate special occasions and Sunday evening featured a very special birthday
celebraon for one of our club members. Mother Nature provided some unexpected nice weather for a change that
enced larger than normal crowds for this me of the year at the pool facility, the golf course was very busy and both
paos were filled with happy diners as well. All of this bodes well for another promising summer filled with more club
social events than ever before.
As in the past, the month of June will offer a plethora of golf events that will offer something different for all of our
members who parcipate. A mixed foursome event will get the acvity started on Friday, June 3rd, featuring a 2:00 pm
shotgun start along with cocktails, hors doeuvres and dinner at the compleon of the tournament. An early summer
"Shootout" will take place the following two days, along with more Oliver Moon play on the 5th. A Ladies NEPWGA
Open Day will follow on Tuesday, June 7th, as a prelude to the Summer Championship on Saturday and Sunday, the
11th and 12th. The season's first Member & 1 or 3 Guests Tournament gets underway on Wednesday, June15th, and
features special food and beverage service a7erwards, including a cocktail hour with appezers and buffet dinner. The
Ladies NEPWGA Team Matches, Oliver Moon Quarterfinals and Parent Child Tournament will highlight the following
weekend as a prelude to one of the summer's premier golf and social events. Of course, I'm speaking about the Gwil
Maddock Member Member which features not only championship golf, but also one of the most ancipated dinner
dances of the year on Saturday evening, June 25th. Back by popular demand will be the "Flaxy Morgan Band", whose
debut performance at our inaugural "Libaon Celebraon" le7 those in a<endance asking for more. You asked and we
are delivering so plan on coming out to enjoy their fantasc rendions of many of your favorite songs, both old and
new. Please note that you DO NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE in the golf tournament in order to a<end the party. Seang
will be available on both paos as well as in the dining room and there is no ala carte dinner service that evening, so
stop by to enjoy an amazing array of food staons, libaons and culinary creaons!!!
Please watch your emails and check your monthly newsle<er and calendars for further informaon regarding all club
funcons. As I menoned, there will be more events this year than ever before and several of them will be coming your
way soon. This month's "Happy Hour" will take place on Friday, June 17th, and will be followed the very next night by
our first "Chef's Table Dinner", which will feature a six course gourmet meal and wines paired with each one. This is a
first-come, first-served affair with limited reservaons being accepted, so look for a special flyer with further informaon and call right away if you would like to a<end. Another new event, the "Seafood Gala", will take place at the
Club pool on Saturday, July 9th, and will be followed by our annual "Steak Fry and Clambake" on Friday, July 22nd, with
entertainment by the very popular "Picture Perfect Band". The month of August will be highlighted by the Jackman
Memorial Dinner Dance on Saturday, August 6th, with club favorite "Group du Jour" providing the evening's music.
As you can see, the area's very best bands will once again be stopping at the Club to entertain you this season.
Addional social funcons are sll in the planning stages and we'll update you as to what progress is being made as
further informaon becomes available. I can tell you that there will be a new event in every month, each with its very
own unique theme, as we strive to offer a social calendar filled with an abundance of acvity, with which no other club
can compete. I'm excited about all that we have to offer and trust you will do your very best to a<end as many funcons as possible, or at least as many as your busy schedules will allow. It is your parcipaon and support that make
Glen Oak and all of the events we offer so successful and it is appreciated more than you know. Whether it's a relaxing
day at the pool, enjoying a challenging round of golf, experiencing the gorgeous views afforded by our two paos with
a cocktail or spending an evening of dining and dancing, I'm sure you will want to come back for more.
I look forward to seeing you all at the Club soon!

Glen Oak Country Club
Clubhouse Notes:
The recent addition of a beautiful fireplace and privacy doors in the back
dining room of the clubhouse has received rave reviews from both the
membership and guests alike. The enhanced atmosphere has created a
big demand for private parties, ala carte dining and small member
events in this area.
Above the fireplace you will find an original pastel painting of the
clubhouse by member Lisa Cunningham. Lisa has been gracious
enough to place the painting on loan to Glen Oak for all to enjoy. The
framing was custom made by Carriage Barn Antiques. There have been
a number of inquiries about whether prints are available for purchase...
You may do so by contacting Bob Sedlak at the Pro Shop at
570-587-4024 or online at http://www.lisacunninghamfineart.com/

Green Report…Gino Marchetti, Superintendent
We are currently working on many projects on the course. We are hoping that the weather will warm up. The long range weather
forecast is showing near average temperatures for at least the first half of June. Here is a list of projects being worked on the
course currently:
Trying to the keep up with the rough cutting.
Concentrating on detail work around the golf course. Edging bunkers, flower beds, sprinkler heads, irrigation boxes, yardage
markers.
Working on several irrigation leaks.
Installing brick pavers for ball washers and garbage cans on the course.
Soon we will be doing a light topdressing on the greens to help for improve smoothness on the putting surface, hatch dilution,
improve turf recovery, increase firmness and improve root zone.
Approaches have been aerified this past week and they will heal pretty quickly.

We are moving into the heart of the season, which means heavy use of both the course and the practice
areas. A few reminders regarding player responsibilities with regard to course upkeep are therefore in order.
Please be mindful of your pitchmarks, the impression a ball struck from a distance makes when it contacts the
green. When repairing a pitchmark, make sure you push the surrounding turf toward the center of the pitchmark, and never lift up. Levering the grass upward will level out the turf and fill the hole, but it will separate
the plant from the roots and kill it, leaving a circular brown mark.
It is my belief that most of the unrepaired pitchmarks are due to people actually forgetting that they’ve
made a mark at all. I’ve found that we see mor e unr epair ed mar ks as the gr eens fir m up. If your ball
strikes the green and releases significantly, even rolling off the green, you may forget to look for the mark
you’ve made. Please check for your mark anytime your approach lands on the green!
Please fill fairway and tee divots with the mix provided in the carts or in the divot boxes on par 3s and
selected other holes. Please replace any divots you make in the rough to the best of your ability. We have
small sand bottles available for walkers!
As you all know, we have installed new, permanent artificial mats on the back part of the driving range. With
very limited exceptions, these mats will be on use on Monday and Fridays, and also if the tee is very saturated.
The mats will ease the pressure on our turf, and will hopefully lead to better turf conditions through the year.
Divot management is also vitally important! Please place each ball behind the divot you created with the shot
before. If you use this method only ½” to 1” of tur f is affected, as opposed to cr eating an entir ely new
divot. It will drastically reduce the area affected by a practice session, and help ensure quality

Summer Junior Golf Program
Glen Oak Country Club will once again offer the Summer Junior
Golf Program. This is the fourth year for the program, which been
very popular. Its goal is to give juniors the opportunity to learn
more about the etiquette, rules, and skills of the game, and to meet
other juniors who share their interest.
Eligibility
The group is open to the children of all Glen Oak members. The approximate age range is 7-14 years old.
The more advanced players will receive instruction prior to playing on the course. Beginners will receive
primarily off-course instruction.
Schedule
Mornings, 9:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M. Thursdays, June 16th, 23rd, and 30th, July 7th, 14th, and 28th, August
11th and 18th. On course players will have instruction from 9:00 A.M.-9:45 A.M., and play starting at
10:00 A.M. until 12:00 P.M. Off course juniors will have instruction from 10:00 A.M. until 12:00 A.M.,
with some time allocated to on-course play.
Instructional Topics
Topics to be covered will include etiquette and safety, rules, club rules, sportsmanship, history of the
game, forms of play, swing mechanics, and course management. It may serve as an introduction to taking
and passing the junior golf privileges test. The off course group will primarily focus on basic education
and fundamentals.
Volunteers
We would like each parent to volunteer to help chaperone play at least once over the course of the program. The volunteers’ responsibility would be to ensure that safety guidelines are being followed, and they
are not required to provide instruction.
Fees / Billing
The program is $120 for all 8 weeks, or $25 per session for the children of golf members. The children of
social members and guests will be accommodated based upon available space. The cost for the children of
social members is $150, and guests will be $175. The per session cost for social members and guests is
$30. Registration fees are payable by cash, check, or charge to member account. Please contact the golf
shop to sign up.
I will be starting my Ladies Beginner Golf Clinic on June 29th. This year's clinic will run for 6 weeks,
with 2 additional weeks added in the event of rain outs. Join me from 5:30pm - 7:00pm and then enjoy the evening on the patio. The cost is $100 and is limited to the first 8 entrants. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
Spring into action and let's get swinging! Hope to see you there!
